Actress Stana Katic is best known for her role in the series "Castle", but she also gets a lot of recognition off-screen too for her gorgeous looks and classic sense of style. Stana is of Croatian and Serbian descent, which is apparent in her strong bone structure and overall stunning looks. She also has a square face shape and strong jaw line, which can present problems for some people with these same features when it comes to their hairdos. For starters, full-on fringes are a no-go, as are blunt shorter styles that end near the jaw line. There are, however, many hairstyles that will work on a square face nicely as Stana demonstrates below. Check out her 'dos for some new hairstyle ideas if you have a square face shape too.
